The transition from tummy sleeper to sleeping on your back..?

Question

Anyone else been sleeping on their tummies since forever ago and starting to get nervous that in a month or two, this will not be an option?  The only way I can sleep is on my tummy.  I've always slept that way.  I'm 8 weeks tomorrow and the thought of not being able to sleep in my comfy position in a month or two is giving me tons of anxiety.   Anyone else experience this?   Wondering if there are certain types of pillows that will help me out with this.

Answer

You probably won't sleep on your back the bigger you get. It gets hard to breath and you get dizzy. But I'm a tummy sleeper too I sleep on my left side and then use pillows under my belly between my legs against my back and kinda under my butt. Basically I cocoon myself in pillows 😂😂 it helps with heart burn and acid reflex. But I end up getting up 837367181 to pee so solid sleep is just a faint memory

Go buy a Snoogle. It will be your greatest and comfiest investment. Thank me later.

Answer

I've always slept on my stomach and can't sleep unless I do, so sleep is a foreign concept at this point, but when I do finally pass out from exhaustion I usually still wake up on my stomach even at 35 weeks :/

My ob said as long as it doesn't hurt it should be fine?

Answer

I am 37 weeks and still occasion lot find myself in a on my belly position while sleeping; I try keeping one leg propped and lots of pillows under my leg & head in order to make it feel like I'm laying flat; Dr said that as long as I'm comfy it's nothing to worry about; baby WILL move and make you adjust a bit but together you find a comfy middle point.

Answer

I'm still a belly sleeper most nights at 27 weeks!! You will not harm baby by the way you sleep, baby and your body will let you know what you can and cants sleep like x

Answer

I was a back sleeper & now have to sleep on my side. They don't recommend back or stomach positions after a certain point in pregnancy. I've joked that it's the hardest thing I've had to give up in pregnancy! It also adds more pressure to my hips which hurt already.

Answer

I'm 35 weeks & before being prego I was ALWAYS sleeping on my stomach. Up until I was around 16 weeks, I would actually catch myself still sleeping on my stomach. Which is okay, baby is safe in there & the bigger you get, the more your realize that you can only lay on your sides. As far as pillows for a comfy night sleep, I highly HIGHLY recommend investing in a pregnancy pillow. It saved me, totally wroth ever cent.
